For a digital kiln the SC-2 is surprisingly affordable. It fires silver clay, decals, china paint, enameling, and glass in minutes up to 1100°C automatically at the rate and temperature you enter.

The SC-2 is very popular because it fires fast and plugs into a standard household outlet. It has been in production since 1997. It is a proven design that has steadily been refined every year. Thousands of artists around the world love their SC-2. The SC-2 is popular in art centers, colleges, craft classes, and even engineering laboratories.

The high-tech ceramic fiber firing chamber is wrapped in a steel inner case. The outer steel case remains cool due to the layer of air between it and the inner case. In addition, the case is slotted for air circulation. Electrical components, located in the base, stay cool even at extended hold times.

The newest SC-2 has two separate heating elements in the left and right sides of the firing chamber. The back of the chamber has no element. Extensive testing shows that the heat distribution in the current SC-2 is more even throughout the firing chamber, because heat does not build up in the back of the kiln.

A large, brightly lit display prompts for firing rate, temperature and hold time. Use the hold feature to automatically soak any type of clay silver to its recommended time.
